[Epic 4G Android Development] intheb0x:
I have to say thanks to everyone who helped with my battery issue.

After loading the other modem, and charging the phone to 100% with the phone ofF and wiping battery stats, I'm getting much much better battery life which I assume will get better.
[Epic 4G Android Development] murso74:
is that acs-ec05 modem different then the stock ec05 modem?
[Epic 4G Android Development] k0nane:
100% the same, but I didn't link an EC05 modem, I linked the EB13 modem, which is also the exact same.
[Epic 4G Android Development] 063_XOBX:
No. Modems are left unchanged.
[Epic 4G Android Development] murso74:
when i clicked that link i DLed acs-ec05-modem.tar
[Epic 4G Android Development] k0nane:
Well, I said I didn't link it, not that Impaler didn't link it. ;)

This is EB13.
[Epic 4G Android Development] murso74:
cool... not trying to be difficult on this but i'm so tired of flashing roms... is there any chance that flashing the eb13 modem would do anything for the android system using the sensor? i'm still trying to decide if its actually an issue for me right now.. my sensor usage is about 10 minutes more then my partial wake time... and that doesnt seem right.. its not terrible on my battery life but there is a difference. and it seems like some of the people that have reflashed the rom have said that the sensor bug has persisted
[Epic 4G Android Development] Custodian:
+1 redneck status
[Epic 4G Android Development] k0nane:
That's possible.
[Epic 4G Android Development] murso74:
ok gonna give it a go.. running the EB05 modem right now so i'll post if i see a difference
[Epic 4G Android Development] F1reF1ghter:
Not get FCs just clean restarts. Kinda disturbing. I love the ROM. Just need to find a way to get wireless tether in infrastructure mode working on it. Wireless_Tether_2.0.7 (market version does not support that mode on the Epic). Trying the experimental releases now. I'll let you know what i find.
[Epic 4G Android Development] flyers2114:
Problem is they are all experimental releases right now....it will def be trial and error for you...
[Epic 4G Android Development] murso74:
went from ec05 to eb13. so far the phone has been unplugged for an hour and a half and the android system has used sensors for 3 min. a definite upgrade. can someone else with the sensor issue let me know if they are on EC05 and maybe flash the eb13 modem and see if that works?
[Epic 4G Android Development] netengineer:
Stupid question.... you can run the eb13 modem or any other modem on this ROM and nit have to run EC05?
[Epic 4G Android Development] 063_XOBX:
You can use EB13, but that's it. So your choices are EB13 or EC05
[Epic 4G Android Development] shiftr182:
You can run any modem.
[Epic 4G Android Development] 063_XOBX:
You can, but I would consider not being able to make calls/ receive data a pretty big reason not to.
[Epic 4G Android Development] k0nane:
Have you tried other modems, other than the ED12 ****box? If not... Keep the FUD to yourself. ;)
[Epic 4G Android Development] HooliganAMA:
I'm using dk28 with no problems. I even seem to get better battery life and more accurate gps than I did with Ec05.
[Epic 4G Android Development] 063_XOBX:
With all the threads where people have run into issues running outdated modems, I was under the impression running a modem from a different Build could cause issues (EB13 and EC05 are almost identical as far as I know).
[Epic 4G Android Development] andsamp:
Excellent battery life with the ec05...almost 11hrs with moderate use..(tried to upload image but it says incorrect format)
[Epic 4G Android Development] k0nane:
Nope. Usually, modem issues are a bad flash, or that version's just no good for them.
[Epic 4G Android Development] 063_XOBX:
You learn something new every day...
[Epic 4G Android Development] murso74:
after eb13 modem... time up 3 hours 45 min, sensor usage 17 min. might flash back to ec05 tomorrow and see if anything gets better
[Epic 4G Android Development] intheb0x:
Am I having the same sensor issue everyone is taking about?

My phone hasn't been off the charger for long...
[Epic 4G Android Development] 063_XOBX:
Gallery is using WAY too much battery, I'd say so.
[Epic 4G Android Development] k0nane:
You appear to be affected by the Gallery bug that's present in all ROMs other than Bonsai (Mammon modified the Gallery). Grab QuickPic and delete the Gallery for now.
[Epic 4G Android Development] murso74:
you are def having the gallery issue... i believe you are having the sensor issue too though. 2 different issues
[Epic 4G Android Development] intheb0x:
Delete gallery 3d in system?

Also what should I do avout the sensor thing?

I just downloaded quick pic from market.
[Epic 4G Android Development] k0nane:
Yes, delete it. And that will fix it.
[Epic 4G Android Development] murso74:
i flashed the EB13 modem for the sensor thing... so far it seems to have lowered the amount used by alot. trying to get info from people on the stock rom to know where i should be with that
[Epic 4G Android Development] intheb0x:
Well I guess I'm in the right track for better battery lol,

The modem flash to eb helped it allot,now since I found the gallery issue and fixed that,i hope it will extend it more.

Any thoughts or ideas on the sensor usage from android system? Or did deleting gallery fix that as well?
[Epic 4G Android Development] murso74:
didnt' know you were already on EB13.... let it roll for a bit and see what the sensor usage ends up being
[Epic 4G Android Development] intheb0x:
Did the modem yesterday.

So far it has22 mins up time since I rebooted and android system has used 5mins of sensor.
[Epic 4G Android Development] guruleenyc:
Done everything you said, upon use of the video camera... i get a persistent freeze and have to pull battery....
[Epic 4G Android Development] Stuke00:
Flashed this to my wife's Epic last night. We tried to use the camera tonight and the phone freezes when you take a picture. You have to then pull the battery and it appears now that things that are normally on the SD card are not loading. Pictures in the gallery all show up black with a white "i" in the middle of them... What is up with this phone?
[Epic 4G Android Development] k0nane:
Which kernel?

For both of you, format the SD card. That's definitely your problem, Stuke00, and it may fix your problem, guruleenyc. Copy anything you wish to save off first.
[Epic 4G Android Development] spykedvodka:
ok, excuse me if this was posted all ready but with like 900 pages, I couldn't go threw them all....

I love this rom, however, everytime I open up the Browser, it freezes. It also freezes on shut down....

Any way to fix this? I tried multiple installs and just can't get it figured out, so I'm about to give up. On a few installs it was error ridden with errors every time it would turn in (force closes)... i've odin'd it many times and i just can't figure it out and I'm bummed coz I really liked this rom.

thanks
[Epic 4G Android Development] k0nane:
For future reference, the search button works fine. ;)

Flash VisionKernel 1.1 or Genocide.
[Epic 4G Android Development] fishfuzz:
Known issue - has to do with CWM. Make sure to search (it's been repeated about every page since the beginning).
[Epic 4G Android Development] MrNybble:
Just did a Wipe,Wipe,Wipe and flashed Bonsai. Charging issue is gone. Plugged in the phone and the battery icon appeared. Are we sure this is CWM?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Rudyblah:
The apk isn't in the system folder. Its in the data folder and can be uninstalled, but for some reason it leaves something behind somewhere that screws all the other versions. More than likely had something to do with how it was baked in
[Epic 4G Android Development] Xerexis:
OK so I rebooted and booted into recovery, wiped x3 wiped cache wiped x3 just for good measure, run install for midNIGHT ROM v4.1 and there does not appear to be an issue with charging now. Wouldn't the issue persist if it was CWM?
[Epic 4G Android Development] boominz28:
gotcha, well if anypone else uses picasa please let me know if your getting same issue. i know picasa not important to everyone , but its very important to me :D
[Epic 4G Android Development] big_bake:
Try flashing back to SRF and see if you can replicate the problem
[Epic 4G Android Development] Xerexis:
OK so I shut down and booted into recovery, wiped x3 wiped cache wiped x3 just for good measure, ran ACS Frozen install and have the same issue. Locked up after shutting down and plugging in the cable.
[Epic 4G Android Development] MrNybble:
I can answer that. Yes, the battery charge problem does re-appear if you Wipe 3x and flash SRF.

Edit: Darn...missed it by one minute Xerexis...LOL
[Epic 4G Android Development] Zei:
So is anyone havign a problem with mybackup pro/root? I came from supernova and I cant restore any of my data
[Epic 4G Android Development] MrNybble:
I think it's been said not to restore Data...just Apps and Media. I've done that several times with no trouble.
[Epic 4G Android Development] big_bake:
well in that case we need to point this out to the ACS team if it's something that is repeatable on different devices. I know k0nane has said it's CWM 3 multiple times. I'm sure it will be addressed in due time though.
[Epic 4G Android Development] MrNybble:
I'm sure they will see us squawking about the battery issue again. I just hope this helps narrow down where the issue is. They may already know, which in that case: <That horse ain't dead yet?>
[Epic 4G Android Development] k0nane:
Other way around - media and data, not apps.

The kernel team has assured me it's CWM-related. See the Twilight Zone thread.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Rivas123:
Wow. Almost at 100 pages and its all because people don't search!

Btw this rom is effin sick. I was setting it up and what not and left off at 50% that lasted me about 8 hours with moderate to heavy use. Kernel plus rom mix is amazing. Hopefully its not a placebo ;-)
[Epic 4G Android Development] Xerexis:
Will do thank you k0nane!!
[Epic 4G Android Development] MrNybble:
Ahh, I stand corrected sir. And I await the battery fix and will stop beating that horse
[Epic 4G Android Development] deano0714:
Does the missing carrier iq mean that my parents couldnt go online and look at my messages and data history? Idk if thats posible but i know it xan be done on verizon... by the way this rom is blazing fast and has great batery life love the work acs has done.
[Epic 4G Android Development] chris41g:
It can't soley be cwm3, only an interaction between it and the kernel or the kernel.. because it works fine on bonsai and genocide kernels
[Epic 4G Android Development] kgbcapthowdy:
has anyone ignored warnings and restored data from cwm anyways? what was ur result?
[Epic 4G Android Development] troyolson92:
Rom is amazing!!!

Agree with Chris, the plug in freezing is not apparent on bonsai. Maybe I will try this kernel and bonsai rom..... To see of it's in kernel or rom.
[Epic 4G Android Development] andsamp:
Just a quick question...does the paid version of the xda app have better search options..I usually wait till I get on a computer to search because the xda free app search is pretty much useless..thanks for the great rom..
[Epic 4G Android Development] guruleenyc:
As mentioned earlier in my last post, i did format my sd card already. I also installed the visionkernal.... so now what?
[Epic 4G Android Development] k0nane:
Try Genocide.
[Epic 4G Android Development] guruleenyc:
:-( doh!

Thanks for your support! If you're in the habit of randomly pulling your battery, enable journaling by taking a backup in Nandroid and restoring it.
[Epic 4G Android Development] intheb0x:
One thing I noticed too about Epics, is that it seems as if some are allot more "picky" than others.

Esp when compared with the evo.
[Epic 4G Android Development] || Acer ||:
So far, no issues! Although the market icon turned back to green...any fix for this?

I tried sending 2 camera pictures to my laptop but when my phone tried to connect to the laptop via bluetooth, the installation of the phone bluetooth driver on my laptop failed to install. My phone then said the transfer failed. What gives? :mad:

Is there another way to wirelessly send pics to my laptop that doesnt require going through email?
[Epic 4G Android Development] k0nane:
Dropbox - and Kies Air. Go find Kies Air in the Apps section.
[Epic 4G Android Development] siirus09:
Thanks. Is there any more direct way than going through Dropbox? Also, can you give me a short explanation as to why bluetooth connection failed?

Edit: Just looked up Kies Air. duh, thanks k0nane, I should have shut up after my first post.
[Epic 4G Android Development] k0nane:
Kies Air. And it's on your PC's end.

Performed a nandroid before installing EC05SRFFontFix in CWM from SDcard.

Booted up and had a bunch of FC. Thought it might be the zip so I restored nandroid backup but still had a bunch of FC occurring.

Restored nandroid backup again and chose Fix Permissions, but FC still.

Per http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=12636892&postcount=6836, next step should be wipe cache and dalvik-cache.

question: i thought nandroid backup and restore is supposed to alleviate FC issues, what am I missing here? why are the FC still occurring after the nandroid restore?
[Epic 4G Android Development] k0nane:
If you back up bad data, you'll restore bad data. Wipe, reflash, and after the first boot, shut down properly, boot into CWM, and take the backup and restore. Flash what you will after that.
[Epic 4G Android Development] jockovonred:
yeah, that was my thought too. probably some other stupid app involved.

edit: for sh**s and giggles and did a 3x cache wipe with a side of 3x davlik-cache wipe, followed by some fix permissions again (took longer than normal) and bam!

back in business

have to reset my screens with the shortcuts setup but was itching to do that already, now i'm forced to :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] Stuke00:
I will give that a try and report back. Thanks!
[Epic 4G Android Development] spyder09:
also if you are on the same network....and im assuming you are...you can use swiftp and just ftp to your phone and transfer anything from/to your phone very easily
[Epic 4G Android Development] Stuke00:
Formatted SD card, copied back all my stuff. same problem. Camera either FC's or files on my SD card become unreadable. Flashed back to a rooted stock and the camera works great. Guess I will stick with that.
[Epic 4G Android Development] intheb0x:
im also at a loss on what you mean?

i noticed at first the market icon was blue, now its green and has been ever since.
[Epic 4G Android Development] intheb0x:
My phone has been up for 8 hours and 40 mins.

In sensor usage it shows this.

Is this normal or do I still have a issue?

Thanks everyone

Hey everybody, what's the deal with this startup media scanner?

I'm locked out of every application that is installed to the sd for at least a minute or two on startup as this media scanner works on whatever it's doing.

I can't believe that in 2011 a modern OS wouldn't store whatever media information it needs about removable storage device in a cache on the device itself, only updating when needed, requested or there is no cache.

You would think google would fix that and in fact that it never would have been an issue in the first place, but if that won't be the case, can I request that some later syndicate rom solve this problem?

Question: has anyone used the leaked gingerbread 2.3 and noticed if this behavior has changed?

Android is actually a great OS that I've come to recently from wm6.5 but the media scanner thing is my single biggest complaint about the OS.

Also thanks K0nane and all ACS for the great work on this rom which is miles ahead of the stock rom I first tried.

I attached the sprint telnav apk can confirm it works. just drop in /system/apps and reboot[/QUOTE]

how do i drop the apk in system/apps. i moved it on my sd card and tried copy and pasting it to system apps but it tells me i have insufficient permission!
[Epic 4G Android Development] 063_XOBX:
What are you using to move it to system/app? You need to be using an app with superuser permissions.
[Epic 4G Android Development] garyf:
Really? So this media thing is samsung and not android itself?

It is somehow better than how everyone else does it? Every time I reboot (usually to change batteries) and look at it I wonder what this thing is wasting my time for.

Does anyone have any idea of why samsung chooses to handle sd cards like this?
[Epic 4G Android Development] MysteryEmotionz:
It scans any time you add new media to your card or when you power up your phone. Its looking to see if you added any new media and puts tge media in the right location whether it be the gallery, videos, or music player.
[Epic 4G Android Development] MysteryEmotionz:

just click on it and install. It installs to system app with no issues
[Epic 4G Android Development] murso74:
yeah this just doesn't make sense... my phone has been awake for 5 minutes but my system sensore usage is over an hour. so pretty much the whole time its been off the charger the phone is using the sensors, even when its sleeping.
[Epic 4G Android Development] hayzooos:
I know I'm a bit late (whoda thunk I'd be late after around 12 hours??!!) but to the guy asking about running EB13 with an EC05 modem...that's exactly what I'm doing. However, I'm not sure I'm a fan of the EC05 modem, it doesn't seem to play nice.

I drop into 1X coverage when I probably shouldn't. Considering I live around the Chicago area, you can't tell me the coverage is that bad ;).

I'm thinking about odining back to the EB13 modem sometime in the next few days. It'll be my first shot at Odin, so we'll see how that goes. I'm still running 1.0.2 and absolutely loving it, so I'm hesitant to change anything.

Once 1.1.1 drops, I'll probably jump on that though.
[Epic 4G Android Development] garyf:
Is there a reason this process takes so long on Samsung phones? HTC phones and wm phones have ringtones, pictures, videos and music but don't take this long to find.

What exactly is Samsung doing that is taking all this time?
[Epic 4G Android Development] k0nane:
Slow SD card.
[Epic 4G Android Development] beno*:

Use Root Explorer in the market. Go to system/app and click the Mount R/W button, then paste.
[Epic 4G Android Development] siirus09:
Try Rescan Media Root on the market. Itll disable it from ever doing its own scan during boot and whenever you change around files your phone when connected through USB.
[Epic 4G Android Development] styles420:
However, any new files you add may not show up in the appropriate places until you do the scan, and it sounds like you might have another background app eating resources... Just something to be aware of when you make your decision
[Epic 4G Android Development] stir fry a lot:
Ed You can also try an app on the market called SD Increase
[Epic 4G Android Development] siirus09:
Good point, although I dont add any new pictures through USB regularly where I would need my phone to find them. Music should be automatically found by doubleTwist. As for a background app eating resources, I know but I hate that scanner :(
[Epic 4G Android Development] garyf:
I doubt the problem is the speed of the sd card. My current sd card is much faster then the sd card I had on a wm6.5 touch pro 2. The problem is that android/samsung has some really unusual, and as far as I can figure inelegant, way to keep track of media.

One program in the market seems to require the phone to be kept in usb debugging mode and possibly disables ringtones. Another program in the market changes a cache parameter but apparently does not make a measurable improvement in transfer speed.

Obviously thought has been put into this issue and the result has been that it is not easily solveable. Even though I still wonder why that would be.

Also it seems as if the boot scan thing does not bother many people as much as it bothers me. I guess to each his own.

Thanks everyone for your contributions.
[Epic 4G Android Development] gitit20:
O god 963 pages was a nightmare finding what i needed lol but i managed it...

For you people who have had issues with sudden lock ups and had to pull the battery and are now getting fc's you can flash over the top of the existing rom 1.1.0 to fix the force closes.

This rom backs up your data before install if coming from an older version even when re-flashing to the new 1.1.0 it still backs up your stuff just thought i would throw that out there has worked very well for me...

Also if you manage to flash a boot ani. and your now stuck will fix this as well and also good way to remove AOSP lock screen too...

Just remember to back it all up just encase...
[Epic 4G Android Development] k0nane:
Terrible idea for precisely the reason you posted: the ROM backs up and restores data. That's like dropping a dead bird in a pot of chili, removing the dead bird, tossing out the chili, making a fresh pot, and dropping the dead bird back in.
[Epic 4G Android Development] VeNoM vZ:
how do i clear the google framework?

[Epic 4G Android Development] VeNoM vZ:
thanks i dint know it was that easy. Im having problems with the Market, i keep having to agree to the terms of service every time i open the market. Impaler suggested to clear the google framework but that didnt help and now the stock email app keeps on force closing 0_o

Hey k0nane, I noticed a little glitch (don't know if it's been mentioned).

Just recently while playing with my epic, I noticed my lock screen stopped working. Like it just skipped the lock screen and went straight to the launcher and everything. A reboot fixed it, but just wondering why this happened. Thanks!

P.S. Make a flashable sense battery icon ;) lol

Don't think so

[Epic 4G Android Development] pipskicks:
It's been a while since I cleared and re-flashed. Not amazingly easy, but you can't really back up data when the files are corrupted (or in the example, the dead bird is sitting there), and it is a pain to re-do all the settings, but I found it to be worth it.

Firstly, I still think there are leaks/hidden places where things are stored to where no matter how much I clean myself, a fresh install speeds things up.

Secondly, it fixed all of the force closes, and at least a week later I am having no problems at all (of course until the next FCOD happens, but maybe I'll find something else to flash eventually).

I'm actually debating flashing this on my girlfriend's new Epic but after I got the FCOD I'm wondering if I should wait (that would cripple her, she is not tech savvy in the least).
[Epic 4G Android Development] k0nane:
You pulled your battery - probably repeatedly - without enabling journaling. Simply take a Nandroid backup and restore it to turn it on.
